Re: OpenNMS and Java in light of Oracles recent announcement

Hello David,

Thanks for your answer.

I just want to add that I've finaly found the way how to use my legacy IRC
client (instantbird) with your mattermost server. That's a very good thing
for me: Now, I can have smooth chats/discussions with opennms community
members again! yeah! \o/

The IRC and the mailing-lists are my legacy ways to exchange with opennms
community members. And, having missed the IRC->mattermost transition, I was
viewing the mailing-list shutdown in an unfavourable light.

But, I can look at it favourably now that I'm in the mattermost train
again, and that you explained that it wasn't a mailing-list shutdown but
rather a transition.

Let me add 2 (hopefullly constructive) criticisms/questions/proposals:

   1. Until yesterday, I wasn't aware of the
   https://wiki.opennms.org/wiki/Chat#Mattermost_over_IRC page. so I wasn't
   aware I could use my legacy IRC client to connect to your mattermost
   server. Why not adding a link to this page in the #opennms IRC channel's
   topic?
   2. Regarding the mailing-list to stackoverflow transition, will it be
   possible to answer questions via email?


Regards,

Cyrille

Having worked in the community for 15 years, now, I can appreciate how difficult it is to move from the mailing lists but we're trying to accommodate the community which I believe greater than just the mailing list.
